Flamingo Land developers to appeal latest Loch Lomond rejection

The developers behind proposals for a Flamingo Land resort by Loch Lomond rejected by the Scottish Government are appealing the decision.

Plans for the £40m holiday park were squashed because of flooding concerns.

Bosses at Lomond Banks say there were issues with the way Ministers reached their conclusion and they're going to court.

Jim Paterson, Development Director for Lomond Banks, said: “Having reviewed the Scottish Ministers’ decision in detail, we believe there are fundamental issues with the way in which Ministers reached their conclusion, and that it is appropriate for these to now be examined by the court.

“Lomond Banks remains a major opportunity for Balloch and the wider area, with the potential to deliver significant investment, jobs, regeneration and lasting economic benefits.

“As this matter is now subject to legal proceedings, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage.”

The Scottish Government is refusing to comment.
